What do you use?

I'm new to this site and the forums are so huge that I don't know if something like this has been posted before. And if it has - burn this after reading (and maybe help me find the first one XD).

I have made a few amateur AMV's myself but I always used Windows Movie Maker witch is realy good and easy to use, but in order to further my skills and my work I am looking for new software. So maybe anyone could suggest any good free software and maybe some links to find it. Because I tried a few different things but I either downloaded bad versions of it or it was crap (I do hope it's the first).

Thank you very much in advance for any help at all.

I DON'T believe there are any good "free" editing software's but you're most likely gonna end up loving Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas

You'll probably want to check out the Software Help forum to get a sense of what people are using; as far as free goes, it's pretty much trials or Cinelerra, which would also involve a fair amount of effort in teaching yourself Linux. It's your call whether you think this is a good use of your time, or if you'd rather spend the same time earning a few bucks to buy a commercial editing program and getting more reps in with it.

hth,

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the venerable old Software Lists sticky yet.

There's also Zwei-Stein and AviTricks, and every time I suggest them, I always wonder if anyone around here has actually used either of them and knows what's good and bad about them.

(Now that the Software Reviews section of the website is gone, I can't point to that for info.)

I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9.0, with some help from Wax 2.0 and ArcSoft PhotoStudio 5.5.
Vegas is very cheap, I got mine for about £25 online and Wax is a useful free tool if you want to use special effects. An image editor might be useful as well.

Windows Movie Maker is generally a beginners' program. It's very limited, especially in the special effects area. I don't blame you for wanting a better program.
I would download a few free trials and check out some free programs 'til you find one that works for you.
